Social Lucario Social: Aura Dog Days of Summer

[BugCatcherWill]

I absolutely loved Origins, but it was too damn short!!

Here's a fight with Brock *skips all the way to freaking LAVENDER TOWN*
Ghost Story Arc *Skips to Silph Co.*
Giovanni introduction *Skips to last gym*
Red gets all the badges *Skips the entire ELITE FOUR!!!*
Battle with Green Blue *Only shows Charizard vs. Blastiose*
Mewtwo Battle. Series ends.

I mean, what the ****? Even the anime with ASH has a whole 40 minute 2 episode long battle with Gary in the Johto League! I just felt that it was all like "Oh, you all probably know the story, so I'll skip 90% of it". I would of LOVED to see the different ways they portrayed Surge, Misty, Sabrina, the Safari Warden, and so on like they changed Brock's character. But, nope! That would require a series that's NOT only 4 damn episodes.

Let's hope to Arceus that if they have a Johto Origins it'll be longer...

As someone who has played Melee, Brawl and Smash 4, I personally think it's weird if someone likes Brawl and hates Smash 4 or vice versa. Both games share similar mechanics and therefore the same problems at their core. While Smash 4 fixed some of the problems, it also created a few.

Smash 4 still rewards mostly defensive gameplay, albeit some people have made aggressive playstyles work. Pretty much anyone with a move that has is either multihit or lingers for a long time is pretty good. Any character that that has a kill setup that you can't DI/SDI or kill throw will never be bad. This means a lot of characters aren't as good because they lack of those traits alone. It's pretty silly.

If Smash 4 had Brawl Lucario, he might have been probably guaranteed top tier. But because of mechanic changes and moveset changes, he's probably outside top tier for now in current meta. Rage makes it impossible to take full advantage or Aura unless you play super defensive when you get to high Aura (which I hate), and Lucario's lack of a neutral game means he gets walled and bodied by certain characters.

This is all just my opinion based on what I have observed and noticed as of late. I've lost a lot of faith in singles because of the current meta.

Well Origins was already planned to last 4 episodes. (Its an ova) I'm sure if Origins would've became its own anime, it would've lasted much longer than four episodes. The intro while counting down through the games to the very beginning was nostalgic beyond belief for me, the music only made it better.

Just got the final hat from my Lucario amiibo and finally have all challenges completed. Everything unlocked as well

 

[Superior Spider-Mew]

Speaking of Lucario and hats, anyone else here have a Lucario fleece hat as well?

 

[BugCatcherWill]

Speaking of Amiibo's is it possible to get a reasonably priced Lucario amiibo? Or will I have to stick with dealing with scalpers on Amazon and Ebay?

Steam and me battling it out who has the better hat.

Those are pretty much your only choices if you live in USA if you care about keeping it in original USA package You might randomly find a Lucario at TRU, but good luck. You could check some import sites and see if you can get a better price if you don't care about packaging. Don't forget that Japan and Europe have better stock overall on rarer figures. I imported mine to stop the madness.

Dope, settling it in Smash! I have a hat similar only it doesn't have the eyes and the ears are much longer.

Amiibo's aren't region locked so you can buy them from anywhere, I bought my Lucario amiibo from Amazon uk and it works fine. Me personally would never give a scalper my money.

[Superior Spider-Mew]

Kirby would be very meta

 

[Rysir]

Id have no problem going full dork wearing a cario cap over my military chase hat and have a lucario plush sitting in my pocket as I play.

I don't want to go to a tourney where every top player wears a Diddy hat.

I don't want to go to a tourney where every top player wears a Diddy hat.

And instead of the Nintendo Logo on the hat, it will say "HOO-HAH!"

I'd be scared by the end of that tournament if I went.

Lucario's Brawl recovery would probably not make him top tier.

Have we studied DTilt enough? Hmmm.

 

[RT]

Well, ExtemeSpeed is the exception, obviously.

And Double Team. New one can still has problems, but at least it's more usable this time around.

 

[Pitbuller26]

Ironically I find dtilt to be a more reliable anti air than utilt due to Lucario shifting his hurtbox back and extending a hitbox forward that hits a little upward.

 

[Ulevo]

I mainly use down tilt as a combo starter.

I have a tournament coming up and my main competition will be a Marth and a Mario. I haven't had a chance to play them yet, so I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the match ups.

My brother always kicks my ass with Marth. He even does it with the Wii Remote held sideways somehow :/

Here's some starting advice: Generally Marth players will short hop -> Fair, so shield when they're in the air. However, that can lead to them using the shield breaker, which is stupid good this game, so be wary. Also when recovering, ALWAYS sweet-spot the ledge, or you will be eating some F-smashes. Another thing to consider, if both players counter at the same time, Marth will have enough time to perform a F-smash. ASC on the ledge won't work due to Dolphin Slash. Also, watch out for tippers.

Of, course, my brother could just be using an unorthodox Marth technique, but I hope this helps nonetheless.

eww

Also sunny, surpass Steam already, he doesn't deserve to be the best in CO. Your senpai is disappoint you allow this to happen

 

[RT]

This disappoints me.

 

[BugCatcherWill]

Hey, so I have another tourney tomorrow, and customs are on. Should I use Lucario with some sort of Custom move set or is default best? Or should I use Lucario at all?

 

[RT]

Diddy

Hoohah only

Lods of dosh

 

[BugCatcherWill]

Diddy

Hoohah only

Lods of dosh

I absolutely refuse to play as Diddy. Not because he's top tier or "overpowered", but because he's the ugliest ****ing thing on the face of the planet.

since you werent sure to use customs or not you probably shouldnt use lucario at all : 3

 

[BugCatcherWill]

Any reason for that? From what I can see, none of Lucario's customs are any good (except glancing counter doesn't leave you as open if you miss). I was just being a responsible person and asking around to make sure not all of his customs are trash.

Guys, check this out. BF actually has a higher ceiling compared to FD and Lylat.

Awesome! So this basically means Battlefield is the perfect stage for Lucario?

 

[DomBadZZZ]

I dont really like BF, it restricts ASC from B-reverse or wave bouncing and I feel like a bunch of other characters can take advantage of platforms better. That thread is awesome though
